Engineered timber is the smart choice for budget-conscious projects

Engineered timber flooring is ideal for those who want the beauty of natural timber without the cost of solid hardwood. This flooring type uses a hardwood veneer on top of a high-performance core made from layers of timber products, creating a durable and cost-effective solution that can be installed where solid timber might not be practical.
Engineered timber is easy to maintain, comes in a wide range of finishes and colours, and offers excellent resistance to humidity and changes in temperature. It’s a perfect choice for high-traffic homes and commercial spaces alike.

Consider cork tiles for softness, insulation and quiet underfoot

If comfort and warmth are your top priorities, cork tiles are a fantastic alternative to traditional wood floors. Cork is soft underfoot making it ideal for anyone with joint or hip issues and it naturally insulates both heat and sound, creating a cosier and quieter environment.
Among other benefits, the advantages of going with a cork floor include: 
  • a wide range of fashion and natural colours 
  • natural insulation properties that will keep your floor warm 
  • a quiet material 
  • easy to clean
  • softness (cork tile floors are approved by the ACC for people with hip injuries and other sensitivities). 
By specifying cork you will also be doing your bit to save an endangered habitat and the livelihoods of more than 100,000 people. To learn more about this send us an enquiry using any of the forms on this website.

Add a touch of class to your interior and patio floors with parquet design hardwood flooring

Wooden floors with a parquet design are among the most beautiful and elegant around. Some advantages of a parquet wooden floor include:

  • long-lasting quality 
  • real durability 
  • a high level of decoration 
  • little maintenance 
  • a beautiful finish. 
Flooring Effects can work with you to create a parquet flooring design that complements your interior design needs. Allow the parquet pattern to do all the work on its own or enhance the design using two or more types of wood - it's your choice. 
Also ask Flooring Effects about our professional quality parquet floor sanding and polishing service, and if you need to tidy up existing parquet flooring, Flooring Effects have all the tools and products needed to restore your flooring back to original quality.

A careful, proven process for timber floor installation

At Flooring Effects, we know that flawless flooring starts with flawless installation. Our process ensures that every timber plank is securely and professionally laid for long-lasting results. We follow a proven three-step installation system:

  • Apply a 12 mm tongue and groove overlay over concrete or composite sub-floors. 
  • Install 19 mm of tongue and groove over floor joints.
  • Clamp wooden floors prior to fixing with specific glues and invisible nailing so as to ensure floor stability. 
After installation, the process is completed with professional floor sanding to enhance the grain and create a fine finish.  
Flooring Effects also offers a comprehensive floor restoration service to revive floorboards with water, fire or sun damage. Each step, from initial consultation to choice of timber to the installation and finish is handled with utmost care at the hands of our flooring specialists who provide a first-class service so contact us today for a free quote.
